*snoooort* "HEY FANS I NEED YOU TO MAKE SOME DANK BOOMER MEMES TO TRICK YOUR *IDIOT* PARENTS INTO VOTING FOR THIS CANDIDATE I UNCRITICALLY SUPPORT FOR REASONS THAT WILL CERTAINLY NOT BECOME APPARENT OVER COMING WEEKS"

yeah maybe just like. talk to voters, hey

*interior, deposed deputy premier feminist icon jackie trad's office; looking at poll numbers and doing the hitler meme*

I WANT DIRT ON EVERY VOLUNTEER IN THEIR CAMPAIGN. DESTROY THEM. NOTHING IS SACRED, THAT SEAT BELONGS TO ME. I'M A *LABOR LEFT WARRIOR*!

*pudgy malcolm roberts looking ALP mutant*

THIS IS BECAUSE THE LNP PREFRENCED THE GREEBS IN A SECRET DEAL THAT WAS SO SECRET OUR RATFUCKING CAMPAIGN CAN STILL ONLY INFER IT

ok mate, like. some of us are trying to do something here? not angling for a job on the minerals council?

*failed TV starlet with teeth like a military graveyard*
